And now Teresa Giudice might also have to deal with angry Bravo executives after she failed to turn up for NBC's Upfront presentation in New York on Thursday, according to RadarOnline.

The Real Housewives Of New Jersey star skipped the event that allows TV channels to woo advertisers for the next season's shows, reportedly because she and husband Joe have yet to be sentenced after pleading guilty to bankruptcy fraud.

Being careful: RHONJ star Teresa Giudice, pictured with husband Joe at a New Jersey court in August, have yet to be sentenced for felony tax fraud, which is reportedly why she was a no-show at the NBCUniversal Upfronts

And even
though the judge agreed to allow her to travel to New York for work
events, the 41-year-old doesn't want to do or say anything that might
jeopardise she or her husband's position, a source told Radar.

'The network obviously wanted her (at the upfronts) and wanted her to talk about her
legal problems because they are in the show, but she just isn’t willing
to do any press right now,' the source added.

'Teresa
is terrified of making a wrong move between now and her sentencing.
She’s praying that she gets only house arrest or even probation.

'So she’s staying out of the limelight and avoiding any situation where she will have to talk about the case.'

On
the promo trail: NBCUniversal execs are reportedly annoyed that Teresa didn't join Housewives - including Kyle Richards, Yolanda Foster and Kim Richards - to promote the Bravo show in New York on Thursday

But
this is putting Bravo in a awkward situation, the source continued.
'Teresa is a huge draw for the show, but of course they can’t force her
to do anything that would put her in legal jeopardy.'

The
couple will be back in court on July 8, when they will learn their
fate. The two face heavy fines and possible jail time after accepting a plea deal over 41 counts of fraud and tax evasion.

Teresa faces 27 months in prison, while husband Joe could get 46 months and will could be deported back to Italy, where he was born.

However, a separate fraud case
against Joe, concerning repayment of $260,000 for a 2007
mortgage scam, was dropped on Tuesday.

Court date: Teresa and Joe appeared in a federal criminal court, where they faced mortgage and bankruptcy fraud charges, on March 4 in Newark, New Jersey

'Bravo is going to push as much as they can with Teresa,' the source added. 'She will eventually have to do press for the show, and hopefully
won’t be in jail when the reunion show films.'

Meanwhile, it looks like the bankrupt couple will have to sell the opulent $1.7 million home they share with their four daughters, Gia, 13, Gabrielle, nine, Milania, eight, and Audriana, four.

'It’s a foregone conclusion, Teresa absolutely will have to sell her
beloved New Jersey mansion,' the insider added. 'She’s terrified she could end up homeless.'
